Whenever I see someone get worried over a damselfly nymph in their tank, I'm always jealous, because I've been specifically looking for these cool guys in the planted tanks at work for years, but to no avail.
Just my luck then, that the first time I find one...it's in my betta fry tank, munching away on my babies! .
I don't mind now though, although it ate quite a lot of fry, I still have 20-30 baby bettas...and I doubt I could cope with more. Plus I got to watch the damselfly grow up after moving it over to my shrimp tank (not going to notice a few missing baby cherry shrimp lol).
Today I got the pleasant surprise of seeing the adult damsel . Even though its a bit sad since it's way too cold for the poor thing outside, he's stuck in my room staying around my open top planted tanks. I'll probably get some fruit flies for him tomorrow. My room is a jungle...
Anywaaaay, enough talking to myself, here's some pics .
Tasty 3 day old betta fry:
Damsel as a little baby:
Getting bigger and more awesome looking:
All grown up:
And the bettas are too, could nearly have him for lunch now :
Thanks for looking .
